We were trying to think of something
different the other day. We are playing at the FesEvol at the The Kazimier on
Saturday the 12th of August and since we’ll be playing in the
daylight we won’t have the opportunity to use the projectors. This means that we
will have to rely on our own natural charm, charisma and stage presence to
embellish the performance. Hmmm.
So we were thinking of ways we can do
something a bit different and we pondered, stared into the middle distance,
stroked our chins, made thinking noises and furrowed our brows. This is what we
came up with:
- Perform naked.
- Get an escapologist.
- Grow moustaches.
I think you’ll agree that’s certainly a
list. As to whether the items in the list are quality items, I think the less
said the better. Sometimes we come up with better ideas than this, but not this
time.
If we were to be trendy zeitgeisty types,
we’d put it to the vote. Except it would be a thoroughly demoralising process
for all concerned no matter what the outcome was. Much like chemical warfare or
the postal service.
It’s not always easy to come up with an
interesting or novel idea at the drop of a hat, although strangely enough the
International Hat Dropping Championships were thought up in just that fashion.
Still, relying on serendipity isn’t going to put dinner on the table or money
in the bank or ducks in the pond or monkeys in the trees or fish in the sea or
tassels on nipples or chips in the fryer or ground glass in the camp
commandant’s mashed potatoes or Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century.

What I’m saying is, if we’d had a flip
chart and some pens and a day of team building exercises we might have come up
with something better. So don't make the same mistake.
Mashemon Inc. run a series of Action Activity Days focusing on fostering
improved inter-personal team dynamics, re-balancing systemic process
inequalities, providing nurture bubbles for proto-cognitive realisation
gradients and facilitating non-culpable responsibility “we-states” vital in the
full formation of intermeshed community zero-scale market gearing in the modern
world.

Prices start at £300 per person per day.
Buffet lunch and light refreshments included. Bring a change of clothing.
Ultimately it will all come down to the
performance on the day. I am planning on taking one song at a time, playing the
high percentage notes, keeping focussed on doing the simple stuff right and
playing each ball on its merits. You simply cannot afford to make simple
mistakes at this level and you should be able to clear up in one visit. Our
defence is strong, we’ve been training well and Andy is getting over his groin
strain. He might need a pain killing injection, but he’s a brave lad and I’m
sure he’ll give 110%. As far as Mike’s upcoming trial for racism, homophobia, sexual
misconduct and armed robbery is concerned, we are not making any
comment at the present time. Because we’re a little scared of him.
It's about this time of the day that I like to tell you to go and boil your head.
